It's based on the Urban Enduro and differs to the rest of the Scrambler range with the larger front wheel, longer suspension travel, a 5 mm beefier fork, headlight guard, high adventure style mudguards, engine skid plate, larger pegs and new longer Aluminium swingarm.

All the original Scrambler models used the same engine but for 2017 the Desert Sled gets a new throttle control and engine calibration for smoother power delivery low down. The wire-spoked 19" front wheel takes a 120/70 Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyre and the rear 17" a 170/60.
